We intend to restore the fundamental necessities and environmental awareness of the species through the advocation of the most current understandings
of who and what we truly are, coupled with how science, nature and technology (rather than religion, politics and money) hold the keys to our personal
growth, not only as individual human beings, but as a civilization, both structurally and spiritually. The central insights of this awareness is the
recognition of the Emergent and Symbiotic elements of natural law and how aligning with these understandings as the bedrock of our personal and social
institutions, life on earth can and will flourish into a system which will continuously grow in a positive way, where negative social consequences,
such as social stratification, war, biases, elitism and criminal activity will be constantly reduced and, idealistically, eventually become
nonexistent within the spectrum of human behavior itself.

Over and over again, the Catholic Church has arranged for itself to be demeaned or appear weak in order to fool it's adversaries. It banned the
Jesuits to give the impression of impotence to Protestant England and America. Once the guard was down, and the door had been opened, and the
Catholics allowed in, the Jesuits where re-instated. The perpetual pedophilia priest issues and Zeitgeist are only tools used to keep the Vatican
from being suspected of being in control. This is known as "Blown cover as cover". The Vatican owns the USA and profits from ticket sales and taxes.
That doesn't mean the basics of the Zeitgeist movie aren't true. The Vatican is certainly a scam. But so elaborate as to constantly mislead and
confuse all sides.

Pure and simple cult.

With there take down the religions stance and Project Venus pipe dream it's no wonder they have no real voice or influence in the world.

Orientation=Indoctrination

You're giving conclusions with no premises. Why do you declare The Zeitgeist Movement is a cult? What do cults have that are in common with The
Zeitgeist Movement?

Have you actually spent time watching Addendum or learning about The Venus Project?

There is no "take down the religions" stance. You could continue to be as religious as you like. In fact, with all the free time people would have
after the elimination of most of the menial labour, you would have more time to be even more religious than you could possibly be in today's society.

In the end, the Zeitgeist movement basically gives away all the resources and things of value to an elite class, which is then redistributed among the
people as the elite see fit.

Which means it's even worse than what we have now. We as today they have to steal from the people in order to gain those resources, this system
flat out gives it to them.

And how do they expect to punish people for war? By warring themselves? And so evil begets evil.

No thanks.

Wrong. Learn more about the Movement before making decisions.

One of the key rules of The Venus Project is that "all of the Earth's resources must be held as the common heritage of all people and not just a
select few".

The Venus Project is all about preserving resources for everyone on the planet and all future generations. It is juvenile to think only of our wants,
and not the needs of others. The Venus Project is about treating everyone and all the resources of the planet with respect.

In the world of The Venus Project, everyone gets everything they need: food, a home, education, medical care. There would be no war. What is their
to war about if everyone has everything they need?

This extends not just war, but to crime in general. Most crimes are related to money and possessions. If everyone had access to everything they
need, crime virtually disappears. No need for police, courts, prisons, etc.

I encourage you to learn more. The path humanity is on is selfish and leading to the destruction of the planet. It's not that we "should" change.
We must.
